The COVID-19 pandemic and Winter Storm Uri were a one-two punch to Texas dairy farmers, but the industry has recovered and milk production in the state continues to climb, according to Texas Association of Dairymen Executive Director Darren Turley.
The relatively mild summer has kept supplies steady.
“The cooler weather this year is a big impact on our production because we really have not seen the summer fall-off that we usually do,” Turley said in an interview with the Texas Farm Bureau Radio Network. “Now that August is here, we’re not sure what will happen. I think Texas summer is going to show up, but it’s about that time. So, we’re expecting it.”
